iOS/Android app supporting local sustainable reuse of building materials. In collaboration with Egnahemsfabriken - (https://coompanion.se/2020/11/10/egnahemsfabriken-blir-arets-kooperativ-2020/ "Swedish Cooperative of the Year 2020"). The project was developed with the support of Vinnova - Swedens innovation agency.
Kretsloppan serves as a tool for the residents of Tjörns Kommun to manage local logistics of bartering, buying and selling of used building materials. The heart of this work is the center for reused materials located at Egnahemsfabriken.
The app allows the user to:
- Upload their own materials
- Browse available materials
- Book and confirm pick up of materials
- Freely advertise for needed materials
- Create projects
- Associate collected materials to projects, providing follow up to where the materials end up in their second (third, fourth...) lives.
Kretsloppan is a local, non-profit initiative which welcomes collaborations. We work according to decentralised principles and believe in tech adjusting to local conditions, not the other way around. If you wish to setup similar initiatives in your vicinity feel welcome to contact us through asaisacson@gmail.com for support.
